Maximum cable length in one chain is 150 m (before inserting RP 6004 Repeater in a chain). This includes interconnection cables between the units. The maximum usable cable length depends on the units connected and length of feeding cables etc. Cables must be AWG24 if the number of units in the tables are to be used. AWG26 cables will not allow as many units. DIS cables series EC 6001‐xx are all AWG 26. Although the ‘Chain’ output connectors have a 150 W supply, this 150 W power is not all available with long cables, as there will be a power drop in the feeding cable from the CU 5905 Central Unit to the units connected. If the feeding cables are short and the cables between the units are short, more units can be connected than if the feeding cable is long and/or the cables are long between the units. Please consult the next sections for details about the number of units, which can be connected depending on the cable length. Maximum cable length in one chain when using RP 6004 Repeaters and Cat5e cables is 450 m. 12

External Control Application Protocol
The DDS 5900 Digital Conference System features an Ethernet connection with the purpose of providing an interface for controlling and monitoring of the system. By setting up a simple (raw) TCP/IP socket connection to the CU 5905 Central Unit control options are available. This document describes the TCP/IP raw socket protocol for communicating with the DDS 5900 Microphone System. This protocol provides a short set of commands, enabling a third part control application to monitor and/or control system status of a DDS 5900 Microphone System. Some examples of functionally available using the protocol: •
10.1
Setting a microphone in speak or in request •
Retrieving a list of seats available in the system. This interface supports applications developed by customers, so the protocol is deliberately kept simple to avoid complexity. The external control application protocol offers a mean for supplementing the control functionality available through the DDS 5900 Web interface and the CU 5905 display, however some commands and settings available in the web interface and on the CU 5905 interactive display are not available using the ‘External Control Application Protocol’ Customer applications can include but are not limited to AMX ® or Crestron ® room control systems, PC or micro controller based applications e.g. for button mimics and camera control applications. General Protocol behaviour
10.1.1 TCP/IP socket connection
A TCP/IP socket connection to the CU 5905 must be established for the external control application protocol to become available. Configuration of the CU 5905 connection to the Ethernet must be defined from the CU interactive front plate control/WEB interface, and an IP address for the CU 5905 must be assigned in the network. Choose either a static IP address or an IP address assigned through DHCP. It is convenient to ensure, that the CU 5905 ends up with the same IP address at each start up. Knowing the IP address, the only additional information required for setting up a TCP/IP connection is the Port Number: Port Number = 3142 Example: Test connection to CU via Putty: If the CU 5905 is assigned IP address 192.168.1.100, the external application must connect the TCP/IP socket to the address 192.168.1.100:3142. Knowing the IP address of the CU 5905 a connection can be set up using a simple terminal program like Putty ®. 1.

User Manual
Give command ‘help’ to see a list of commands available. 10.1.2 Command structure (from External Control to CU 5905)
To control the CU an external control application sends commands to CU 5905 included in command lines. Commands lines are build up in a very simple manner: <command><SP><data><CR> <command><SP><data><LF> <SP> Space ‐ 0x20 = 32 <CR> Carriage return ‐ 0x0D = 13 <LF> Line Feed ‐ 0x0A = 10 Command lines are terminated by Carriage Return <CR> or Line Feed <LF> or both. In order to be able to communicate with Windows systems, Linux systems or other systems, the CU understands both types of command line terminations. Notice also, there is a space between the command and data. If a command does not carry any data, space is possible but not required. The CU is not sensitive to upper/lower case. Example: mic_on 212<CR> Turn on microphone a seat 212. Command = 'mic_on', data = '212'. The ‘mic_on’ command carries a seat number as data. 10.1.3 Command structure (from CU 5905 to External Control)
Command lines out of the CU 5905 are just as simple: <command><SP><data><CR><LF> <SP> Space ‐ 0x20 = 32 <CR> Carriage return ‐ 0x0D = 13 <LF> Line Feed ‐ 0x0A = 10 Again, to satisfy most systems, the CU terminates command lines by including both <CR> and <LF>. 46

10.1.4 Seat numbering
Conference units are identified by means of a seat numbers. Each conference unit is assigned a seat number. This is done automatically for all conference units, when they are connected to the CU 5905. The CU 5905 WEB interface is used to change seat numbering. Seat numbers must be in the range from 1 to 65535. 10.1.5 CU 5905 reply to commands
Generally, a command from external application is replied to by the CU. But, reply to a command is produced only if actions are taken by the CU due to the command. Example: When a ‘mic_on’ command results in a microphone being turned on, the CU replies with a ‘mic_on’ command. On the other hand, if a 'mic_on' command does not lead to turning on a microphone, the CU does not produce any reply. There can be several reasons for the CU to reject turning on a microphone: ‐The microphone is already turned on ‐The microphone is no longer connected to the system. ‐Speak list is already full (‘max_speakers’), and delegate interrupt is not ‘on’. 10.1.6 Retrieving system status
The CU supports streaming of status. When an external control application issues a ‘mic_status’ or ‘audio_status’ command, the CU responds by sending the microphone system status. The same goes for ‘audio status’. Hereby, it is possible for an external control application to synchronize with the CU status. 10.2
